ADJb: Anti-Semitism Increasing Agabi
by BILL COHEN CHRONICLE . SPECIAL REPORTER
Although anti-semitism in Ohio and the U.S. has decreased during the twentieth century, it is now back on the upswing, ac¬ cording to Hersch Adler- stein, director of the Ohio- Kentucky Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith.
Adlerstein | says that compared with' sixty! years' ago,1 anti-Jewish ! bias is "way, way, way down" and compared with thirty years ago, it is "considerably down,"
But the A.D.L. Director is
quick to add, compared with five years ago, Anti- Semitism "is up," its low point being just before the Arag-Israeli war of 1967. Arab-Israeli war of 1967.
Adlerstein blames several factors on the recent up¬ surge, the first being the. New Left and other new political alignments. "It is too easy now," he says, "for anti-Zionist positions to move into anti-semitism."
Adlerstein, who is also the executive director of the UJFC's Community Relations Committee, says the New Left anti-semitism "is not a major problem but it is growing."
A second factor in the recent increase in anti- semitism is what Adlerstein terms "the rise of increased consciousness of blacks, which has led to their; ascribing to, J«ws the|f, hostility {toward whites." -.''Sliere is more black anti- semitism than there ever was. before," he says, "huty-i there is still less black ahtjHVf semitism than there is white < anti-semitism."
Adlerstein says another factor is "the deteriorating economic situation in the U.S. and the competition for jobs." "Nobody cares if a > Jew or a black person gets a job when there are more
than enough jobs to go^strength of groups such as around, but now things arf;. th> John Birch Society and different," 'according to theKttie American Independant
A.D.L. director.
The • rise of the Jesus revolution and fun¬ damentalist Christianity has also contributed to some increase in anti-semitism in recent years, Adlerstein says, i i He;; ,cite>v studies showing vthatemany fun¬ damentalists-believe G-d is punishing the Jews for their religious beliefs and that this punishment takes the* form of oppression of Jews around the world: >
Adlerstein says the-A^nti- Defamation League is also concerned about the growing
Party.
"These are groups which are not, in and of them¬ selves, anti-semitic,1 but they tend to draw anti-serhites and they are willing to use anti-semitic materials," according to Adlerstein.
He says American Party presidential candidate, John Schmitz, "seems to be anti- semitic" because of his support of a popular book in right-wing circles called "None Dare Call It Con¬ spiracy.?'
Adlerstein says the book refers %. to, the ■ _ alleged,
"Jewish-communist- ~ Rockefeller conspiracy" to control the world.
The most blatently-anti- Jewish organizations, such as the American Nazi Party and the Ku Kliix Klan, ''are; no longer powerful. anymore," according to Adlerstein. He adds, "There has not existed in 25 years an organized, viable, significant anti-semitic organization."
